Help!! Ava cant use front or back legs
Posted: Tue May 22, 2018 10:50 pm
Our puppy Ava has a neurological disorder preventing her brain from telling her legs how to walk. For awhile our neurologist thought it was neospora. A rare condition from the parent that comes from cows. Now she's thinking it's something else neurological.
She is 6 months old. Just a puppy. We got her from the pound at 2 or 3 months. She's a Queensland healer mix, most likely a terrier as she's still pretty small. She's ran around like a typical puppy did until a week later, she just stopped walking. Front and back legs. .
The next day took her to vet and started on neospora meds as a precaution as if it's not treated fast enough the puppy will die. She was in intense pain and stopped eating for 4 days a few weeks into her disease After a ton of money and tests she's totally fine now. She's taking steroids to hopefully get the strength to walk again. But it's just not happening.
My question is what should we do. The vet sez if she cant walk then she'll get depressed and that's not a good life to live. I cant find anything online for full paralysis. Are there special wheelchairs? She scoots around on the floor so she can feel and move her legs, she just wont walk cuz her brain doesn't let her. We are getting worried
